Hello Everyone,
First of all, Toodles - I read again your first comment which started this dialogue. I know your comment of "Get It Done" started the reactions from others. Your are right; in that, there are "two sides to the coin"; but, I think you would agree that your statement of "Get it done" led to these others, as well as I did, to reciprocate to state the 'other side to the coin". As I expressed previously, I am so happy you had your Hyst. turn out well for you, and you are doing well in the aftermath by having it. I think you just must agree too; that when a Hyst. turns out badly, and ruins a female's life, and I mean ruin her life physically, emotionally, sexually, and with relationships also - this surgery is not "Worth It" to "Get It Done". Ones here were trying to convey to you that with speaking with any other female; do not have the attitude to say, "Get it Done". I would hope you would say to a female you may come in contact with who, just as Terri here, has been presented with needing a Hyst.; that you, yourself, would say to this person, "Make sure you research this, and do not make a hasty decision just because your doctor says you need to have one. You need to educate yourself. You should see more than one GYN, go to the Hers Foundation site, and get the educational information there of 'FACTS'. Go to other sites and become as knowledgeable as you can before doing this very major and life alterating surgery and one will hear from people as you, who have come out fine, but listen to the ones who have not." The factor is this: there are too many women who have not come out "fine". I, myself, if knowing what I know now (and wish I would have known all I do before my Hyst.) would have not done the surgery. I do mean this too - my doctor, who forced and scared me into this surgery which was unnecessary for me, (oh, he also wanted to, while in there, take my ovaries which were fine, remove my appendix, which was fine, and remove a birthmark type of small thing on my labia, which was fine, and never bothered me or my husband) had my faith in him; and how awful for me to find out afterwards I did not need the surgery, and should not have had it due to my RSD either; and I would have 'RAN' out of his office - knowing what I know now. This is the scary part, as I said, and will say again - "There is no going back", and why each woman needs to make a wise, educated, and above all - a VERY INFORMED decision. So, in essence, I am trying to convey this is what you want to state to any family member, friend, or acquaintance. Just not "Get it done." Again, I wish you well, always.
